Common when people take the car to non-specialists I'm afraid. You wouldn't believe the bodge jobs some people have had done to their cars by people who claim to know what they're doing!

Wasn't the original re-build under warranty? Assuming no abuse/dodgy spec by you, 2.5k miles is plain daft - crap build, no question!!

You've learned the expensive way: get the job done right first time, pay once!

You'll be ok with Alyn.

I'd be onto my solicitors about the original build!!

Always worth going for someone reputable and who will guarantee their work.

Even the most highly praised have had engines expire within hours.
